I just filed for unemployment last month. Am I eligible to receive extended benefits, up to 99 weeks?

Contact your local unemployment office. They are the only ones who can tell you. Benefits run out depending on which state you live in, and its unemployment rate.

Mine ran out after 60 weeks back in July.(South Dakota) I won't see unemployment benefits until I work again (ha), and lose my next job. Not everyone is entitled to the 99 weeks. The first 26 weeks of benefits come from your state, after that, it's from the Fed.

If you first exhaust the initial unemployment benefits (26 weeks in Texas) then you can continue to request payments through the format you typically request, whether it be telephone or by internet. If you are concerned, as you come to your 25th week, call your unemployment benefits office and ask for the extension. Extension are allowed for all who fulfill the requirements.

I have never heard of someone, during the first part of initial unemployment being ineligible for the extensions... However, wouldn't it be better if you could find work before your initial unemployment benefits were exhausted?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
